Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call the use the variables A and B to represent the number of pounds used for those types of coffee and set up a system of equations below to solve.

4.20A+5.50B=864.60

B=4A

Let's replace B in the first equation with 4A.

4.20A+5.50(4A)=864.60

Undo the parentheses.

4.20A+22A=864.60

Combine like terms.

26.2A=864.6

Divide both sides by 26.2

A=33

Therefore 33 pounds of type A coffee were used in this month's blend at Rachel's Coffee Shop.

Have a wonderful day! :D

In an ellipse, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the major axis is called:
Anni [7]

The ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity.

<h3>Definitions of dimensions in ellipses</h3>

Dimensionally speaking, an ellipse is characterized by three variables:

  1. Length of the <em>major</em> semiaxis (a).
  2. Length of the <em>minor</em> semiaxis (b).
  3. Distance between the foci and the center of the ellipse (c).

And there is the following relationship:

c = \sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}} (1)

Another variable that measure how "similar" is an ellipse to a circle is the eccentricity (e), which is defined by the following formula:

e = \frac{c}{a}, 0 \ge c \ge 1 (2)

The greater the eccentricity, the more similar the ellipse to a circle.

Therefore, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity. \blacksquare

Answer:

Thus, option A is correct.

Explanation:

<u>match the proportions</u>

  • $240,000 → 60%
  • x → 100%

<u>set up a equation:</u>

\sf \dfrac{60}{100}  = \dfrac{240,000}{x}

\sf x = \$400,000
